Picture of a Perfect Christmas
A perfect picture’s captured in my mind to stay,
so vivid, as I often reflect upon that chilly winter’s day.
We settle into our special place, our first table set for two,
a romantic and festive Christmas dinner eventually ensues.
You in black velvet and satin, a stunning visual delight,
those astonishing and adorable eyes that instantly excite.
We cuddle and kiss, attempting to avoid an unnecessary scene,
as our celebration continues with some delectable cuisine.
A Christmas toast is shared to my love’s sweet allure and grace,
by the soft candlelight, so very close as I caress your face.
Your enchanting charms command my heart’s every palpitation,
as we share our dreams and compliment our holiday preparation.
Each perfect thoughtful gift’s unwrapped, presented with a playful grin,
but not before we wonder and deliberate on what possibly could lie within.
Within our heart’s the joy of a love that has found it’s way,
and in our mind’s an expectation for another picture perfect day.
